When you want to combine fitness, the great outdoors and spectacular views, then Te Arapiki a Tāne should be your destination. Close to 600 steps take you down the cliffside reserve to the Manawatū River on a steep and challenging trail. Access is from Te Motu o Poutoa and off Vaucluse Heights, with the steps linking to other river network pathways, including He Ara Kotahi.

He Kupu Rangatira – The Proverb Pathway: Te Arapiki a Tāne is home to He Kupu Rangatira – The Proverb Pathway, a site-specific arts project that celebrates our bicultural foundations and our multiculturally diverse city through recreational activity. The pathway supports community unity through the wisdom of proverbs from around the world. The proverbs appear in the language of origin, with a te reo Māori equivalent, and an English translation.
